Cocktails were great, especially the Laphroaig based drink (can't remember the name). Was busy on a Saturday night, and just a few dishes were out.Started with the shrimp & grits, it was outstanding. Slightly sweet in spots, slightly acidic in others, juicy shrimp, crispy bits, it was a well executed dish.The pork belly on the other hand was a bit of a miss. Now while the pork belly was perfectly tender and easy to eat, the skin was basted with what tasted of Cattlemans BBQ sauce and it was accompanied by what can only be described as bottle Caesar dressing. The white sauce needs to go. The little round cakes on the dish were very dry (for all 3 of us who ordered it out of our group of 7). Corn was fine. Crispy puffy skin, no BBQ just flaky salt would have made this dish great....even just a little 5 spice seasoned salt on the meat.Would definitely come back for the cocktail though.

The staff was very friendly and very helpful with questions about the menu. I love the cheesecake; a definite must if you eat here.

While the food I quite delicious, the speed of service is a little on the slower side. It took us an hour and a half to get two apps and main meals. I can completely understand busy days and the ambience is quite nice. The servers are all amazing. Just be prepared to be there a little longer if it's a busy day.

This place used to be quite good, but the last time I was in for dinner was before COVID. I'm finally back in NB and was looking forward to another good meal here. I was craving duck breast so I asked the server to make sure it was NOT going to be well done, and she assured me it wasn't. When the duck breast arrived it had almost no fat rendered out of the skin, so the skin was chewy rather than nice and crispy, and the meat was fully well done and dry. The bulgogi pork bun was pretty small and not that exciting also, with a very small square of pork belly on each one (2 small buns for $11). I brought the overdone duck to the attention of the server, and there was no offer of a retry with another duck breast or an option to take it and bring me something else. The server came back and told me she took 25% off the bill due to the overdone duck. That was better than nothing so I just paid the bill and carried on. After paying, I noticed that it wasn't even remotely close to 25% that had been taken off the bill. 25% of the bill would have been $10, and 25% of just the duck would have been $7.25. The discount was $4.35. Not really enough to make up for the meal not being very good overall. The sides were tasty though. My dining partner got the Flatiron steak and asked for it to be rare to medium rare and emphasized that he would rather have it rare than overdone. His steak was at least medium well, if not almost well done. It also lacked seasoning and was bland. I was excited for a return to this place, but left very disappointed.

This place has such a cool atmosphere. It's busy and bustling but was private and quiet enough to enjoy your group's conversation. The range of drinks and food was great. I had the wild grain risotto and it was so rich with garlic and herbs. Not a wet" risotto but so worth it. Also a great choice of beers and the service was friendly and efficient. Will for sure return."

I loved the atmosphere here! I ordered a spicy Caesar and the duck, which I added pictures of! Everything was plated beautifully and tasted amazing, I highly recommend coming here if you have a few extra dollars you're willing to spend.

Came here for dinner during a business trip and the place did not disappoint! We had the steak and chicken entrees and some drinks. The place is pretty dark at night but it’s a nice vibe.

Great atmosphere and food presentation was great .I'd definitely go back.Staff were friendly and portions were great.I wasn't a huge fan of the steam buns. Wasn't enough flavour for me, but I have higher standards for Asian food.The ceasar salad was delicious!!!Thanks

Great place to have dinner in downtown Fredericton. Perfect place for a date. A little pricey but it’s worth it. Friendly staff and good music.The food is amazing and if you still have room for dessert, try their chocolate cake!
